We're almost there. Couple more years and we won't have to worry about by catch. Won't have to try all those wild brood stocks, segregated stocks, etc. Can use the empty hatchery ponds to produce a fish we can eat and manage; salmon.

Steelhead are just too complex for an auto-pilot management system, too rare (now) to be a credible part of by catch worthy of not fishing on.

Saves time and money. Besides, you only fish steelhead in rivers; they don't contribute to "real" fisheries (ocean).
